Mirage Prism Feedback

[Voltage]

I've been playing a fair bit of Mirage lately, and Prism would be much more enjoyable to use if the drain was removed and the duration was increased tremendously. The whole blind Mirage build was nerfed years ago, and I feel Prism could be interesting if it was given more base duration and no drain. If the drain is to stay, just remove the duration entirely and let players use it like other toggle abilities. Also, please increase the casting speed.

Also please buff the base duration of Prism Guard :).

Because Xaku is new and Mirage is not. Xaku will be left to rot when the next Warframe releases. I know feedback on Mirage probably won't go anywhere, but I just wanted to post somewhere that this ability has been heavily neglected since it was nerfed, and it is easily salvageable.

i've been saying this for years, needs to make up it's mind whether it's drain or duration.

Yep, and not just that, the time on the augment also need to be increased, its far too short.

I'm also voicing my agreement to this change. I've never really understood why Prism has a timer + drain anyway.  The ability is decent but no way explains the huge cost AND slow casting animation. Also the light mechanics with Mirage really need looked at. The game does a pretty poor job differentiating between light and dark areas on a number of maps.

 

In this, the age of Steel Path and progressively higher-scaling content, abilities like Prism do not remain competitive due to how the game scales damage reduction on higher level content.

I'll never understand the reasoning for the pvp augment remaining unchanged. The four second limit in pve is really limiting considering energy cost among other things.

It’s because years ago Prism was super strong, so DE nerfed it a bunch. But the game has moved up in player power requirement so Prism isn’t as effective as it used to be. So it’s just a bad ability now.
